Access Control
This Chapter explains how to configure and use the FBR-
1700TX's "Access Control" feature.
Overview
The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict Internet Access
by individual PCs. The process uses "Packet Filtering" to block or discard
data packets. By default, no packets are blocked or discarded.
To use this feature:
• Set the desired restrictions on the "Everyone" group. All PCs are in the
"Everyone" group unless explicitly moved to another group, using the PC
screen.
• Set the desired restrictions on the other groups ("Group 1", "Group 2",
etc ) as needed.
• For each PC you wish to move from the "Everyone" group, enter their
details on the PCs screen, and assign them to the desired group
You can limit Internet access for ALL PCs without
entering ANY PC data. Simply apply the desired
restrictions to the "Everyone" group.
It is also possible to define your own packet filters, and use these filters in
addition to the pre-defined filters. Defining your own filters is optional.
